Reasons not to go to Australia, part 24753

I think the next video is a roo trying to drown a dog.

[StMarks]

For an animal that is supposed to only have the intelligence level of a rabbit, those 'roos seem pretty dam smart & adept to me.!

[Kwacky]

And big. I wouldn't mess with one. A kick can do some serious damage.

[D41]

Yeah...they don't fcuk around, do they??


Why do Kangaroos not fight at home??

Because they don't "beat around the bush!!"

Oh...I'm good.

There's been a bit of backlash for the guy that cracked the roo. Of all things he's a zoo keeper.

Roo boxer will keep his job - Daily Tel ... urn false;

[Kwacky]

Looked like he was protecting his dog to me.

[D41]

.....Yep. And the fact that he was a zookeeper would indicate that he knew the best way to tackle the situation.


But no.....let him and the fecking dog get injured/maimed, etc.....so the greenies can feel good about themselves saving an oversized rodent.

[kiwikrasher]

Yep most sane people are of the same opinion Kwacky and D41. You are always going to get the bleeding hearts go overboard. I'm not one for animal cruelty at all, but his accounts were justified and the minimum he could do to safely rescue his dog. He would have been well in his rights to shot the bloody thing and nothing would have been said.

Kangeroo = racing leathers waiting-to-happen.

Kangaroo = racing leathers waiting-to-happen.

And a couple of months worth of steaks.

[D41]

.....Never occurred to me that they'd make decent eats.......are they any good??

If they are cooked right. Needs to be maximum med-rare. Any more and they get a bit tough.

The Aussies eat everything. I've eaten roo, croc, emu and snake. Apparently it's the only country you can eat the Coat of Arms

[D41]

Yep....had rattlesnake a few times. It's surprisingly tasty, if a bit greasy. I think most things are pretty good IF they're prepared properly...otherwise people wouldn't eat the stuff. It's just things that are unfamiliar that seems 'odd'.

"Sliced swine torso" sounds a bit off, but bacon is the best thing ever.

i had a roo steak last time i was there, i had it medium and it was tough as hell (to be fair it looked more medium to well), i might try it rare next time to see if it's any better.

It's a very gamey meat, but i grew up on venison so quite to my tastes. But definitely go med-rare. And give me a shout if you ever come over to Sydney way.

[D41]

I like more of a 'Cajun-style'....thin, crispy outer "shell"...mebbe just a few MM thick, then still twitching on the inside.

A woman has discovered a 1m-long venomous snake wrapped around her Christmas tree in Australia.

The woman called for help to remove the tiger snake from her suburban home in Melbourne, Victoria, on Sunday.

Snake catcher Barry Goldsmith said the reptile entered through an open door before curling up among the decorations.

Tiger snakes, found along Australia's coast, are highly venomous.

Yeah ok. I'll give you that one. Tiger snakes are nasty f**kers.
